Decoding Death Podcast

Decoding Death Podcast

Drawing on the work of C.G. Jung and others, this show symbolically analyzes the images/experiences people have at the brink of death and attempts to draw meaningful connections to our psychology and shared humanity. For past episodes and new episodes reading NDEs, check out the companion podcast Sam Reads Near Death Experiences.

Cross-post from Sam Reads Near Death Experiences that I thought was worth sharing on Decoding Death. This episode explores the question of what one might see at the moment of death. This is speculative at best and represents a summary of my thoughts on NDEs after having read so many accounts.

This episode explores the cultural diversity of NDEs and how they often surprise (and challenge) us with their variability. 

It features a reading from an academic paper by Keith Augustine, M.A., entitled "Psychophysiological and Cultural Correlates Undermining a Survivalist Interpretation of Near-Death Experiences" published in 2007 by the Journal of Near-Death Studies, IANDS:
